I Wish You Love Lyrics - Original Album Series - Esther Phillips

Goodbye, No use leading with our chins, 

This is where our story ends, 

Never lovers, ever friends. 

Goodbye, Let our hearts call it a day, 

But before you walk away, 

I sincerely want to say: 

I wish you bluebirds in the Spring, 

To give your heart a song to sing; 

And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love. 

And in July, a lemonade, 

To cool you in some leafy glade; 

I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love. 

My breaking heart and I agree 

That you and I could never be, 

So with my best, my very best, I set you free. 

I wish you shelter from the storm, 

A cozy fire to keep you warm; 

But most of all, when snowflakes fall, 

I wish you love. 

I wish you bluebirds in the Spring, 

To give your heart a song to sing; 

And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love. 

And in July, a lemonade, 

To cool you in some leafy glade; 

I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love. 

My breaking heart and I agree 

That you and I could never be, 

So with my best, my very best, I set you free. 

I wish you shelter from the storm, 

A cozy fire to keep you warm; 

But most of all, when snowflakes fall, 

I wish you love.
